Resumen

Dos chaperones de ARN, Ro60 y La, trabajan juntos para desarrollar ARN no codificantes mal plegados (ARNnc). Esta colaboración revela un nuevo mecanismo para el control de calidad del ARN, esencial para la función celular.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Biología Estructural Biología estructural.
La bioquímica es la bioquímica.

Sus antecedentes:

Las chaperonas de ARN independientes del ATP juegan un papel crucial en el plegamiento del ARN.
Los mecanismos precisos por los que funcionan estas chaperonas, particularmente en el despliegue de ARN mal plegados, siguen siendo en gran medida desconocidos.

Objetivo del estudio:

Aclarar el mecanismo de colaboración de dos chaperones de ARN, Ro60 y La, en el despliegue de ARN no codificantes mal plegados (ARNnc).
Determinar la base estructural para la acción sinérgica de Ro60 y La en el procesamiento de ARN.

Principales métodos:

Se utilizó la microscopía criolectrónica (cryo-EM) para visualizar la estructura de los ncRNA mal plegados complejos con Ro60 y La.
Se empleó la acilación selectiva de 2'-hidroxilo analizada por extensión de primer y perfilado mutacional (SHAPE-MaP) para evaluar los cambios estructurales en el ARN.

Principales resultados:

Una estructura cryo-EM de alta resolución reveló cómo La interactúa con el complejo Ro60-ncRNA, estabilizando la ribonucleoproteína (RNP) mientras desestabiliza las estructuras de ARN.
Los datos de SHAPE-MaP demostraron un efecto sinérgico entre La y Ro60 en el despliegue de estructuras de ARN no nativas.
El estudio identificó que este sistema de acompañamiento se une tanto a los precursores de ncRNA como a los ncRNA con colas de oligouridina.

Conclusiones:

Ro60 y La forman una máquina de acompañamiento de ARN colaborativo que despliega los ncRNA mal plegados.
Este mecanismo pone de relieve una vía potencial para reconocer y corregir los ncRNAs aberrantes dentro de la célula.
Los hallazgos proporcionan información sobre los procesos de control de calidad del ARN mediados por chaperones independientes del ATP.

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding

The native conformation of a protein is formed by interactions between the side chains of its constituent amino acids. When the amino acids cannot form these interactions, the protein cannot fold by itself and needs chaperones. Notably, chaperones do not relay any additional information required for the folding of polypeptides; the native conformation of a protein is determined solely by its amino acid sequence. Chaperones catalyze protein folding without being a part of the folded protein.

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

RNA Interference

RNA Interference

RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

RNA Structure

RNA Structure

Overview
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...

RNA Stability

RNA Stability

Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...
